Greetings from the Codex, and welcome to another front page announcement! A while back, I contacted all the members of the old Codex who were still in the group and asked if they were interested in contributing. One who replied was Hex_Enduction_Hour, and the result is that the Codex once again has an artist!

We intend to release HEHís art on front page announcements like these, and eventually articles as well. Being in a blog format isnít very conducive to art, unfortunately (due to formatting issues, the art takes up the whole width of the blog ... so, no art on the sidebars), but I think we can start putting art on the bottom of some articles. We need to sort some things out before that happens,...

As you may recall, they cancelled their previous Kickstarter for this game and have used that time to upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, the game compenents! Plus they were able to shave $5 off the price too! If you backed the cancelled Kickstarter, you'll certainly want to back this one!

As an extra incentive, if you buy at least one copy of the game during the Kickstarter we will give you a free year of Site Supporter status here on Heroscapers (after the Kickstarter is successful, just PM your receipt to
@Xorlof
)!

If you haven't been following It's Game Time, here's a quick update of what's been happening with Craig (and Jeff) Van Ness' new company, Soaring Rhino. First of all, they've finalized their company logo, and it's pretty sweet:

Secondly, they're starting to show-off a prototype for their first game, Shifting Realms (BGG entry). Here's the video:

They haven't revealed enough to know exactly how the game will play, but the video does give you the gist of what you're trying to do. I'm not sure how or if the 3 separate worlds interact or how your actions on one affect the others, but I'm sure those details will be revealed with time. We do know that it's got a variable starting setup, ⁬with 60 different configurations. That's always a win in my book. (While they said the prototype doesn't have completed art, I hope that...

Note from Xorlof: y'all know about our very own Grungebob and you may know about his previous game, Mice and Mystics. In this article, he explains what he's been up to lately!

Hello Heroscapers, Grungebob here! Xorlof has been kind enough to allow me to use the front page of Scapers to talk about my newest game release Tail Feathers.

So some of you might not know who I am. My name is Jerry Hawthorne and I am a Heroscape fan. I got involved with Heroscape in 2004 before it was released, and I had the good fortune of meeting Craig Van Ness, Rob Daviau, and the other good folks at Hasbro who create cool games. I play tested for Hasbro and eventually freelanced for them on Heroscape.

I've always loved miniature games and Heroscape really struck a chord with me. My experiences with Heroscape have led to lifelong friendships and game design career...

Many of you have probably noticed the promo for Hyground Tiles in the sidebar. If you haven't seen what these guys have to offer, check them out! They look very cool and have obvious use in Heroscape.

Their Kickstarter is underway and if successful, they offered to send us a bunch of their terrain for use to use as prizes for site members. Pretty sweet. (That's why we put up the promo in the first place, as a "thank you.")
